Chapter 1 Continued

As soon as I hear talking down stairs I ran down and introduced myself the Anne girl was so beautiful, Red hair, hazel eyes and very slender. When I looked into her eyes I saw mischief and curiosity. “Hello, my name is Hellen Moore” I said as daintily as I could. “She responded with the most beautiful voice I have ever heard, “My name is Anne Shirley.” Right then I knew that we were going to become fast friends.  “You girls go and get acquainted while I go and get some tea started.” As soon as Auntie finished saying that Anne took my hand and went upstairs to the room that I guess was her’s.  As we sat down on her bed I got so excited that I burst out “You must tell me everything about you!” Anne settled onto her bed and started talking. “Well, you must know that I was an orphan when I was little, you must also know that I have quite the imagination. Well anyway, I got adopted my Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert. At first I only liked Matthew, but I came around to Marilla… Anyway I was there a number of years before Matthew died, but I do miss him terrible, but anyway after I had finished school I taught at Avolena for 2 years, then I went to collage and during collage Marilla took in Mrs.Rachel Lynde a neighborhood lady, because her husband had died and she also took in Davy and Dora because their parents had both died. And now here I am… Right now I am the principle and one of the teachers for ________ school…  What do you do?” Anne asked.

“Well I’m 19 so I still live with my parents and I am going thru collage right now and this week I have off so I came to visit Auntie and meet you” I responded. “Well I’ve heard a lot about you and I know that we will be great friends” Anne announced.  I was so excited that Anne felt the same way I did!  The rest of my visit was very fun, Anne and I became great friends, and she even said she’d write to  me! That was wonderful.

Now I guess I’ll go back to my regular life…
